-ton aro lying, Greener," accused
the Judge. "Thcrel" Ho signaled the
lantern operator, and there leaped
forth on the sheet tho head of Mar
tluuz, tho murdered, mutilated head,
with shnttered eyo and painted checks
and the greenish death pallor showing
underneath, a ghastly, leering cadaver
photographed at tho morgue.
"Who Is It?" demanded tho judge.
"1 don't know," declared tho ac
cused. Again the picture changed.
"Who Is this?'
"Queen Victoria."
Dere suddenly, at the view of Eng
land's peaceful sovereign, Grocncr
seemed thrown Into frightful agita
tion. Dp and down In mad excite
ment leaped tho red column as If the
frightened heart were trying to burst
the .tube with Its spurting red Jet
The doctor put his mouth closo to Co
queull's ear and whispered, "it's the
chock showing now, tho shock that ho
held back after the body."
"There! Do you know these faces?
As he spoke there appeared the fako
photograph that CoqucnII had found
In Brussels-"-Alleo at tho age of twelve
with tho smooth young widow.
"Look at tho girl In this falso pic
ture which you had cunningly mado
In Brussels!" cried the Judge. " "Who
la she? There Is the reason for your
Vllllug Martinez!" ,
Now tho prisoner's pulse was run
sing wild, faster and faster.
"Martlnex knew tho truth." ho went
on; "Martinez held your secret. How
tad Martinez come upon It? Tho
-whole aim of this Investigation has
been to gctthe secret, and we have got
itl Groener, you have written this
secret for us In words of terror. We
know what Martlnex knew when you
took bis life; we know the story of
the medal that ho wore."
"1 know nothing about this man or
Ids medal," flung back tho prisoner.
"No? ' Then yon will bo glad to hear
the story. It was a medal of solid
Sold awarded Martinez by the city of
Parts for conspicuous bravery in sav
ing lives at the terrible charity ba
zaar fire. Have yon forgotten the de
tails of the chnrlty bazaar flro?"
"I am not interested In the subject."
answered the accused.
"Ah, but you are. or you ought to be.
Hundreds burned to death think of
that! Cowardly men trampling wo
men and children! Duchesses burned
to death! Itlcb women burned to
death! Think of It, Groener, and"
ho signaled the operator, "and look at
itr
As he spoke the awful tragedy be
gan In one of those extraordinary mov
ing pictures that the French make
after a catastrophe. Here before them
leaped redder flames than ever crac
kled through tho real charity bazaar:
here were women and children perish
ing In more savage torture than the
actnal victims endured; here were hor
rors piled on horrors. CoqucnII had
seen this plcturo In one of the boule
vard theaters, and straightway after
the precious nine second clew of the
word test be had sent Papa Tlgnol off
for It posthaste. If tho mero words
"charity bazaar" had struck this man
dumb with fear, what would the thing
itself do tho revolting, ghastly thing?
Then suddenly tho tension snapped;
the prisoner sprang to bis feet, and.
tenrlug his arm from the leather
Bleeve, ho faced bis tormentors des
perately. "No. no. no!" ho shrieked. "You
dogs! You cowards!"
"Put the handcuffs on him." ordered
XIautevIIle.
"What does nil this prove?" the pris
oner screamed In rage. "Nothing!
"Nothing! You make me look at dis
rupting, abomlnablo pictures, and why
shouldn't my heart beat? Anybody's
heart would beat If he had a heart"
The judge weut on In a tone as keen
and cold ns n knife: "Peforo you go
to your cell. Groener, you shall hear
ivhitt .we chargo ngalnBt you. Your
wife perished in tho charity bazaar
flro. She was a very rich woman,
probably an American, who had been
married before and who had a daugh
ter by her previous marriage. That
daughter la the girl you call Allco
Her truo name is Mary. She was In
the flro with her mother and was res
cued by Martinez, but tho shock of
seeing her mother burned to death
and perhaps the shock of teeing you re
fuse to save her mother"
"It's a lie!" yelled tho prisoner.
"All this terror and augulsh caused
a violent mental disturbance In the
Slrl and resulted In a failure of her
memory. When she enmo out of the
flro suo did not know her own name.
She was helpless. And she was a great
Wresst It she lived sho inherited her
mother's fortuno; if she died this for
tune roverted to you. So you destroy
ed her identity; you gave it out that
the, too, had perished in the flames,
and you proceeded to enjoy her stolen
fortune, while sho sold candles in
Notre Dame church."
"You havo no proof of ltl"
"No? What is this?" and ho !g.
nnled tho operator, whereupon tho
lights went down and the plcturo of
Alice and the widow appeared again.
"Now watch tho woman, your Urus
els accomplice; watch her carefully."
The smooth young widow faded grad
ually, while the face and form of an-
otner woman took her place. "Now we
have tho picture us It was before ou
falsified It Do you recognize this
face?"
"No," answered tho prisoner, but his
heart was pounding.
"It is your wife. Ixwkf
Under tho picture came the Inscrip
tion, "To my dear husband Hcoul. with
the love of Mnrgnret and her little
Mary."
The prisoner was seen limp and
white, sprawling over a chair.
"He has fnluted." said the doctor.
Uniitevllle hurried to tho open
window, there listening. Just below
him In the courtyard he made out
the flashing helmet of a mounted garde
de Parts. Aud he caught some quick
words that made hltu start
"A messenger from the prime minis
ter." muttered the Judge, "on urgent
business icin me."
